The Seiko UC-2000 was one of the first "smart watches" to hit the market in 1984. The watch itself could store up to 2k data, perform calculator functions, and, of course, tell time.

The UC-2200 (bottom image) was an external keyboard dock that offered additional computer functionalities with its spool-fed printer, 4K of RAM and a 26K of ROM via a plug-in Application ROM pack (Microsoft Basic) – other ROM packs had games or an English to Japanese translation app.
